I watch SNL and I honestly can’t remember this dude. Maybe he should have listened to David Spade and Dana Carvey podcast. They talk about how hard it is on SNL.

We've known this about the show more or less from the beginning. It fluctuates but, even at its best, it's bad.

He was never a full cast member until this past season, and he only appeared in small parts. He most likely was cut for next season to bring in new talent.

They didn’t know how to utilize Gilbert Gottfried on SNL, that show can be very clueless I guess it’s because they expect you to produce your own material, and he was actually pretty lazy 😁

He was basically the black Pete Davidson who smiled way too much. It kind of took you out of the skit sometimes. I think he used to do an impression of Michael Strahan sometimes.

Besides propaganda and rage bating, I can’t imagine why one joins a club where they know they are not wanted. And then proceeds to spew stump they know the club isn’t interested in hearing.

you have to be able to write your own skits to get on there, if you just sit back and do whatever skits they decide to put you in, you are not going to get much. If you watch the SNL documentaries on Peacock they talk about that very thing

Probably mutual. I haven't watched SNL in years, but the long timers are usually pretty stingy with who gets screen time. They don't want their spotlight stolen, after all. If he was upstaging others they'd act just like so many in the past. I think it started with the way Jane Curtain was treated.

Bit of a misleading headline. He said it SOMETIMES can be toxic. Exact quote: “Me and the show did three years together, and sometimes it was really cool. Sometimes it was toxic as hell. But we did what we made the most of what it was, even amidst all the dysfunction. We made a f–ked-up lil family.”
